Question

6.9 moles of oxygen gas in a fixed volume of 1.33 liters. One of the valves opened and there remains only 1.24 moles oxygen gas. What is the new volume of the gas

Answer 1

Answer:

The new volume of the gas remains the same. That is new volume of gas is 1.33 litres

Explanation:

This is because gases do not have a definite shape. They therefore take the shape of their containing vessels and hence their volumes are determined by the volume of the container.

For the question above even if some of the gas escapes, as long as there is gas present in the container, its volume remains the same, that is occupies the same space in the container
